The problem is the front panel has two swing open doors that have a 1/16th inch gap all the way around plus in the center. This is the equavalent of about 3 feet of 1/16 gap.
Re: Fluffy likes playing in the mud.
Covering the screen lid with plastic and insulating the sides of the aquarium with reflectix will do wonders for those losing a lot of heat and humidity in glass tanks, or using glass tanks in rooms cooler than 75 degrees.
Re: Fluffy likes playing in the mud.
If your using the Exoterra cage that I am thinking of it has vents in the front below the doors. Those even closed will reek havock on your humidity and heat. Also if there is a lot of air moving in the room 9i.e you AC or heat running or a fan going) That will suck heat out bad as will using lights in an alread drafty tank.

Sorry for the offtopic.
Re: Fluffy likes playing in the mud.
eep.
Maybe something simple like keeping your water dish over your heat source (if you have one that is under the enclosure) would help raise humidity.

I do have the cage you are thinking of. The vents are taped over. The problem is the Height == 18". I have absolutely no problem with heat. One side is warm and the other is cool. I have two identical hides and he does seem to travel between the two. I am just having trouble with the humidity. BUT, I have found two methods which work.
I am choosing to use the less messy method, in order to reduce the chance of a bacterial/mold problem.:taz:
